KU-IU chat here
-
Defense has no chance when a team can bail itself out
-
Super nice trap.
-
@BeddieKU23 Nothing wrong with that in my view
-
Mason out we are done.
-
Was that Vick staying with the dribbler before the trap
-
THATS TYLER SELF’S MUSIC
-
Good effort but again we find a way to lose big games
-
JNewell said we didn’t have a long bench, but I never thought we’d have to use Tyler in crunch time
-
It was bad that he got faked out, but he made a smart foul.
-
Tyler?
-
Good job Lightfoot, it didn’t make a difference, but it could have. Way to show up!
-
When is the last time 4 KU players fouled out.
-
Man that stings.
-
Damm!
Great game tho.
-
We have one player that’s ready for the season.
All other pieces aren’t there yet.

Well when you have 3 guards foul out.
-
Crean sounds like the March Hare.
-
All that hype… damn. Long season. Long way to go
-
well if that’s a march game as crean just said its a-typical of how we lose every time
-
-
-
If not for Frank Mason. Were not even in this game
-
If you think these refs were bad, wait until you get a load of the ones for the Duke game…

Remember when this was an incredibly deep team last summer?
My how things change.
I mean to be fair, the refs aren’t going to call this many fouls once we get into the meat of the season. We can’t afford an injury but otherwise it’s okay. Honestly, Self needs a 4th big he can trust.
-
Thanks officials for ruining a game between two good basketball teams. They truly took this game out of the hands of the players and coaches with their inconsistent calls. I don’t even know if we would have won if the game had been called better, but it’s a shame that their ineptness caused this to happen.
-
I’ll say it again, why on earth the big guys can’t figure out blocking out I’ll never know. Indiana shot superbly tonight - we didn’t play bad defense, as most of their threes were contested. Lucas and Carlton HAVE to figure this out. Blocking out is a skill taught in middle school yet a lot of guys don’t do it. Post defense wasn’t good either. Probably going to be 0-2 to start the year.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Has been a defensive clusterf**k… None at all with 100pts vs a Self team. I am surprised.1st game of the year-not shocked but surprised. Not likely to happen again this season. This game means MUCH more in the loss column than it does in the W column.
-
I really think Svi kind of did not step up and take the shots he needed to at the end. He’s got to stay a threat all the time for this team. Frank was great, but Frank needed to get Svi into the game.
-
Does Puke keep a stat on Allen trips?
-
@JayHawkFanToo refs aren’t the issue. Ksuck excuse for losing. It’s far too tired
-
insert repeat that into every game
-
@JayHawkFanToo I guess some of us watched a different game than others.
-
very true, he showed up, everyone else played when they felt like it
-
Fb games lasting longer and now bb
-
Probably starting 0-2, but there are things to build upon from this game.
-
Oouch and now the long flight to the east coast.
I don’t won’t to be a downer, but if this our game plan to get by with only LUcas in the paint. Man this is going to be a long season.
-
We haven’t opened the season away from Allen Fieldhouse since 2001. That was also in Hawaii, and also a loss. To Ball frickin’ State.
That season we went undefeated in the Big 12 and went to the Final 4. So let’s not get too concerned just yet.
-
Lucas got a lot of credit for stabilizing our team last year…and stepped up his game after that whole mess of meetings between coach and ‘The Core’. But not seeing carryover and we don’t have the cohesiveness that thought we might see mixing experience and new talent.
Maybe IU with their offensive approach isn’t a bellweather for where we are against a more balanced approach team.
-
@Bwag Devonte was out of control and fell asleep on defense on a key possession that cost us three points. His focus was not what I expect from an upperclassmen. Svi played pretty well. Carlton was better offensively and showed a low post game but isnt blocking out. We need to run more pick and pops with him for shot opportunities.
-
@brooksmd WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH !!!
-
@DoubleDD giving up?
-
@cragarhawk I think some let it get to their head. Devonte has not looked focused even during the exhibitions
-
Why no. Just stating the obvious.
-
Tom Crean beat us excuse me while throw up. The good thing is its early. I was disappointed in the lack of effort on the glass, Self always says that’s how you tell if you played hard and outside of frank idk that we did. Well short turnaround boys lets hope we can beat duke but looking at our defense I’m fairly worried. 89 points let up wow
-
As I said before. Lucky it’s early. Very humbling. Now maybe we can get past the hype and get down to business
-
Well, maybe we won’t need to get any more recruits
-
@HawkChamp saw Svi step away from defensive action a couple times too.
-
well this team just missed shots period, so many missed bunnies, so many missed shots from guys that usually make them. some FT’s as well at critical times.
-
Blackmon and that freshman were the key for them otherwise the rest of their team played like our other 7 rotation players
-
15-32 threes for IU… tough to overcome that, and we almost did. Free throws kept us in the game.
